It's the Fedora logo itself that has issues. The other logos I mentioned were just something that had to be discussed in updating our logo docs that brought up the topic of changing the Fedora logo.

Full disclosure, I brought this up to Matthew yesterday when we were
discussing the ticket on converting the logo guidelines to asciidoc.
We realized they have to be updated with some of the new stuff we've
been working on (Fedora IoT logo, Fedora CoreOS logo, etc). And I
complained about how I wish I could update the logo too :-)
I think a lot of us have struggled with the inability to do one color
and the off-centeredness of the bubble. (And wouldn't an open source
font be nice??)

As much as I love our "classic" logo, I think it may be time for afive
It's not just about problems -- as we're getting into Year 15, andyears (!) of Fedora.next, our editions strategy is drifting awayfrom"Fedora + logical thing" (like "Fedora Server" or "Fedora Cloud")into moreunique brands like "Fedora CoreOS" or "Fedora Silverblue". As Isaid atFlock, the important thing about Fedora to me is the _people_ — I'dlike"Fedora" to be more assocated with the project and the communityrather thanour software artifacts. I'd love to have a logo which can work as a
"community umbrella".
What do you think?
This logic makes sense to me. I'm also open-minded to a 2018 refresh.
There should probably be some level of engagement with the Fedora
Design
Team on this too.
It is too bad tattoos aren't as easy to update as Fedora. :)
